No one should object to getting
information concerning things new or
old. but every farmer should Be on his
guard against imposition in this direc-
ton. He should order or buy seeds
only of those whom he knows TO be re-
liable and honest; he should be willing
to pay fair price for good seed. and
then he has a right to expect good re-
suits. 1t is important to procure seeds
in good season, before the busy time

A Co-operatiye Kitchen.

The scheme has been actually carried
into effect in New York, so far as some
Of the great apartment houses are con-
cerned. In them there is one kitchen for
many families, and it is presided over by
q high priced cook, such a man as only
the richest single families are able to en-
ploy. Provisions are bought wholesale,
and there is a variety in the fare not pos
sible in an ordinary household with its
own kitchen. The housemaids are also
supplied by the manager, in whose pay
and under whose discipline they are, and
the establishment furnishes, besides, me-
chanics and porters for the common con-
v~enience. Therefore, a family may OBJ
tain cookery and service which only the
very rich are able TO secure in another
than a cooperative household.
Yet people who have lived in such
apartment houses have often become dis
satisfied with them. The cookery is res
taurant cookery, and something Of the
character Of the home is lost. Life istoo
easy, and women may sigh for the occu-
pations with which the old fashioned
household provided them. But the Lon
don writer is correct in his provision
when he says that something like asso-
ciated homes is clearly indicated for the
future.-New York Sun. :

How sulphur Matches Are Made.

Nearly all the operations of match
making are now carried ON by machinery.
The wood is first sawed into blocks Of
uniform length, usually one and q half
inches long, or the length of the match.
These blocks are then fed into the cut
ting MACHINE, which cuts twelve matches
at every stroke. To make round matches
the wood is forced through perforations
in metal plates. The splints are then
pushed into Stats arranged ON a double
chain $50 feet long. On this they are
carried 10 the sulphur vat, dipped therein
by a mechanical movement ami then in
the same manner 10 the phosphorus vat
and dipped. Machines are also used for
making the boxes and packing the splints
therein.
As the consumption Of matches is most
enormous-being estimated at six q day
for every man, woman and child in Eu-
rope and North America-they form an
important article If commerce. and the
invention OF machinery for their manu-
facture has proved of great advantage.
But the especial value of machinery is
that il has so largely reduced the NOR
tally caused by working over the phos-
phorus. The substance, when heated,
throws of fumes which cannot be con-
tinuously breathed without causing dis
ease. In large factories 144, 900 small
boxes Of matches are often made and
packed ready for shipping in a single
day.-Philadelphia Times.

Boiis and Their Treatment.

That which in every day talk is called
o boil, sometimes ''bile" or .'beel, tech
nical writers call a furuncle. This word
is of Latin derivation, the original signi-
flying a petty thief, and in view Of the
fact that few trii1es can so effectually rob
a man of his peace of mind it would ap-
pear that furuncle were the better name
for the trouble in question, which Is Cir
cumscribed Inflammation occurring in
the skin and tissues Immediately there
under.
Boils. like death, claim all seasons for
their own, and may come singly or in
groups. The coincidence of boils and
general systematic diseases is common.
When or however boils appear the victim
should regard them much the same as a
railroad man regards a danger signal and
call a halt. Inquiry into the condition Of
a furunculous patient will, as a rule, re-
veal two facts-a vitiated condition OF
the blood and local violence, frequently
in the way Of chatting by close fitting
neckwear or other clothing.
What has just been said makes 1t toler-
ably clear what those suffering from
boils want &c do. All sources of local
irritation should be removed and tonics,
good food, rest, change of air, ETC.,
made use of. Heat and moisture are
remedies the local use of which is very
useful. A small bag of thin, old muslin
does well to hold the time honored poul-
tice with which it is well to incorporate a
tablespoonful Of lard or some other
unctuous substance.
The simplest and best local application
for boils is the pouring thereon Of water
as hot as can be horne. THIS gives much
relief and no doubt hastens the forma-
ton Of pus in the boil, IN event whose
occurrence is ~signalized by the cessation
of the ~throbbing pain SO familiar to those
who have suffered from furuncle. Boils
may at times be nipped in the bud, so to
speak, by painting around them very
early with tincture of iodine Philadel-
phia Times.

CIergymen's Sore Throat.

An English surgeon claims to have dis
covered the cause Of c~lergymen's sore
Threats. No other speakers are affected
in this way, and he has come TO the con-
clusion that the malady is induced by
speaking down to a congregation from an
elevated pulpit, thereby depressing the
vocal organs and causing irritation and
congestion. II clergymen would hold the
head erect and speak up they would never
have throat trouble, and even If already
suffering to some extent they may cure
themselves by speaking in a right position.
There ARE bad habits Of phonation, breath
ing, etc, which a good teacher can easily
correct, but the bending forward of the
head and hanging over the sermon while
reading It is worst Of all, and any man
can correct himself in it.-Living Church.

The professional bondsman is one Of the
evils difficult TO overcome that accom-
panies the present system Of ,'bailing
out" These bondsmen form a set Of
vampires Of the meanest and lowest class,
who are always ready to go hail for any
and all of the unfortunate women locked
up in the calaboose. II makes no differ
ence whether or not they know them;
they take the risk, and usually do so
safely, as the persons released rarely fail
to appear for trial. The bondsman keeps
a pretty sharp eye on their whereabouts
until they do so; but he requires some
thing more. The most exorbitant rates
OF interest are demanded for the money
loaned. For S25 and $50 deposited but
a few hours at the police station they ex-
tort IS, $40 and sometimes even Sl5 in
payment for their ''disinterested' SER
vices. Something should be done to break
up the nefarious business Of these sharks.

A Falmouth sportsman went out for
beach birds recently. A glance across
West Falmouth meadows showed him the
long neck and head OF a blue heron.
Straightway he began 10 wriggle along
the marsh toward the game. Every now

sure that his prey had not fitted to fields
more green. and then another rod Of
wallowing through green ooze and Shiny
mud. At last he came 10 an ''aim, and
